5. Minka Kelly
Her road to being a famous actress was a long and windy one. Kelly is the only daughter of Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. Her and her mother moved around a lot until settling in Chicago and then New Mexico as Kelly graduated from high school.
After high school Kelly moved to Los Angeles to pursue modelling and met a former Playboy Playmate who hooked her up with a plastic surgeon that would give her work hours and pay her in a breast augmentation. She decided against the breast enhancement but fell in love with medicine and studied for a year to be a surgeon’s assistant but she continued to audition for film and television roles.
In 2006 Kelly got her big break in the television series Friday Night Lights and acted in three seasons of the hit show. The New York Times commended Kelly on her performance and her future was bright after her character left for college and she ultimately left the show.
